Republicans Voice Support For Trump In Public Outcry Against Colorado Ballot Decision
HuffPost
Even though some Republicans are running against Trump in 2024, they rallied around him and condemned the Colorado Supreme Court decision.
Presidential Republican nominees showed their support for former President Donald Trump after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump could not be on the Colorado ballot because of his involvement with the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“The Left invokes ‘democracy’ to justify its use of power, even if it means abusing judicial power to remove a candidate from the ballot based on spurious legal grounds. SCOTUS should reverse,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who is running for president in 2024, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Others joined DeSantis, including former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who despite saying Trump is “praising dictators,” said that judges shouldn’t decide whether Trump is on the Colorado ballot.
“We don’t need to have judges making these decisions, we need voters to make these decisions,” she said in Iowa, according to the Des Moines Register.
In its decision, the Colorado Supreme Court wrote that they had “little difficulty” reaching the decision.
